New genre of recruiter spam just dropped: "Luxembourgish 🇱🇺 speaker and annotator." As an engineer I'm used to ignoring these, but this one brings me a little bit of joy every time!

🥳 Excited to start revealing what we've been working on in the last few months. First, we decided to reinvent Kubernetes for agentic workloads with statefulness and fast resumption. Secondly, we are building an agentic orchestrator that will be Google's open agentic orchestrator and runtime. github.com/google/ax
Incident is hosting its second "SF Saturday Group Ride" in SF. I promise we don't refer to it internally as the "get dropped by a pro ride".

Software engineering is now just about finding loops. I've got one robot doing the work and the other looking at ways the first could do its job faster.
Terraform was and still is the best way to build infrastructure. The only thing that has changed is that agents are now just infrastructure.
You still need to connect things like a triager to a Slack channel. Good Referencing is still impossible in YAML and just solved in HCL.

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.
Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.
In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.
CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”
In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.
But censorship always backfires.
Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.
I love @cursor_ai's command k in the terminal, but I was missing it elsewhere, so I built a quick CLI tool that does the same elsewhere. It does just that and nothing else.

If you’re selling luxury to younger generations: drop the useless pomp and circumstance, focus on convenience and their time.
The highest impact problems in software engineering currently are:
- Build AI that can cure cancer
- Build autonomous vehicles to stop car crashes
- Improve the @British_Airways app
another year, another acquisition 🎉
